Most Badass thing you've done in your life?

[devildog1170]

Today, I had a pretty badass moment. Me and my friend were going to the store, and I was driving. Where I live the weather is horrible, and there was slush and snow everywhere on the ground.

I'm driving, until I see a car infront of me stop at a stopsign. I go to push the brakes, and lo and behold, they're not working. The car is about 25 feet in front of me now, so I throw the steering wheel to the left, missing the car by about an inch. However, now I'm sliding.

I see a development right on my left, and swerve into it, narrowly missing a snowdrift, and another car. I gotta say, even though it scared the shit out of me, I felt pretty goddamn badass.

So what are your badass stories fellow escapists?

As a kid, I tore my leg wide open twice on two separate occasions, and both times just blinked, picked myself straight up and walked home, drenched in blood, without so much as a sniffle or a limp. Didn't even feel it.

These moments are of course completely and utterly outweighed by all the times I've been reduced to a snivelling, sobbing wreck of a person. I am definitely not badass.

Ermm. I once ate a whole tub of ice cream once...

Not much badass stuff goes on in my life, I mean I won a fight in highschool once and that's about it.

In a fistfight I once punched an opponent in his chest to hard his nose started bleeding. Kuddos on the sexy driving btw.

Once I was on a snow trip with some friends - some guys, some girls.

We were out messing around in a snowbank; The guys were rough-housing, taking turns dog-piling each other in snow. One of the girls, a pretty small, frail thing, was quietly making a snowman nearby and I was off to the side a bit. I saw all the guys turn their attention toward the girl, planning to sneak up and dog-pile her (a reckless thing to do since this girl was maybe 80-90 lbs and the guys' combined weight was probably like 800-900 lbs).

So as they charged toward her I stepped out and positioned myself between the girl and them. As they came I threw them to the side one by one. Finally one of them snuck up behind me and put me in a chokehold. I bent my knees and heaved him straight over my head onto his back in the snow.

I felt pretty badass after that - and my friends still tell that story haha.

Also, on that same trip - we foolishly went hiking in -15 weather along an icy trail. I gave up my coat so that one of the girls could use it. We were out there for about two hours. My whole body was numb by the end, but it still felt good to do.

when i won a 1,000,000 man race so I could have the right to live. I'd say that was pretty awesome. But since then i've been pretty.... unremarkable

Damn how did you do that?

I was sighting in my friends new AR-15 and after I had it zeroed we decided to have a little marksmanship contest. He went first and hit a near perfect bullseye from 100 yards, and then I shot from 300, because I have more experience, and there was no other hole on the target. When we went to check out what happened though, the bottom half of his hole was just a little bit bigger that the top. It was almost a perfect hole in hole shot! To defunct my bad assedness though, I have yet to replicate it.

Apply the same idea of slipping and sliding on ice in bad conditions like that.

I parallel parked in between two vehicles with just enough space in between them for it by hitting the ebrake and steering hard left (so I was on one side of the road, and parallel parked on the other side). And this was all done with the help of ice. Landed perfectly in the open spot.

When I was in Afghanistan I shot a 4 round fire mission (artillery M198 155) and killed an Afghani rocket team attacking a nearby FOB. It was amazing to know I killed people who were attacking my friends in real life.

When I was at school, like a typical geek, I was bullied. That was 5 years ago. Then all of a sudden, a girl who used to bully me a lot added me on Facebook and immediately started doing it again, so I launched a massive wall of text at her with enough insults to make Clint Eastwood look like Ned Flanders until eventually, she apologised for everything she'd ever done to hurt my feelings.

Who's the pussy now, Laura?!

There was one other time when I attended a kickboxing interclub and had to fight a much stronger guy with more experience than me in a simple friendly demonstration. After around 10 minutes, I had burned all of my energy by wildly flinging my arms and legs about due to overconfidence and my opponent gained the upper hand and launched punches and kicks so hard they could practically break concrete breeze blocks in half (nah, not quite, but this guy was pretty strong). He knocked me down countless times but I just kept getting up and giving him the old "come on" taunt through my boxing gloves. Eventually the Referee asked the audience to give me a round of applause for simply refusing to stay down. I felt like one of those game protagonists that make a massive comeback and save the world just as the big villain is about to kill them.

That's so weird I was bullied by girls to growing up....I have a feeling this isn't the forum for me.

I'm untouchable at dodge-ball...

To be specific, it was my class, the Physical Education II class against the Physical Training class, which most of the guys in that class have cannons for arms. During one of the games, I was hanging out near the back because I'd have rather not taken a volley-ball to the chest. Well, two of the bigger guys marked my ass for a bloody death, both of them through at the same time, by the time they reached me, there was less then a foot between them. I turned sideways and they passed me. I actually dodged them...

 

[TheUnstoppableRobman]

Damn how did you do that?

I been boxing since I was very young. Just lots of practice and a mean right hand. I hit hit square in the sternum, so I believe I hit him hard enough for the concussion of the force to rupture some nasal capalaries.

I had a triple-double in a high school basketball championship game after tearing my rotator cuff and demanding that it get iced, braced up, and ready to play.
The triple double consisted of 35 points, 17 rebounds, and 12 blocks.

I also sent 4 kids to the hospital after they tried to pick a fight with me.

I think this guy wins, I doubt there are going to be many other people that can top something like this

I once pulled off a 4 VS 1 Paintball game while practicing against other local Tournament teams, rest of my team got hit out early when a player ran down the middle of the field.

I was last guy left and shot the guy doing the run through, and then proceeded to lay down the law by ripping into the remaining 3 people, shot the next 2 in the hopper right after the other from across the field, then ran down the last guy and got him when he didn't know where I was.. from the time it took me to shoot the first guy to running down the last guy, the total time was about 12-15 seconds..

Had similar moments during other scrims/practices but nothing as balls out quick and insane as what i did then... ohh yeah and it was a 7 Vs 7 match

Surfing down a waterslide. Also, on the same trip, getting boosted by a couple of buddies about 15 feet out of the water, backflipping and sticking the landing.

I'd like to do more badass stuff, and I suspect I'll soon get the opportunity (travelling halfway around the world for half a year).

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

I once caught a waterballoon with one hand (which was thrown towards my face) and I threw it right back at my attacker [headshot!]

 

[Thedayrecker]

I routinely mock teachers to their face, in front of the class, by turning their projects into (sort of) clever jokes.
